We have to apologize as the statement that "Meta AI will read your private messages" is wrong.

Meta will use your conversation with its AI to show you personalized ads. Here's the Meta announcement: https://about.fb.com/news/2025/10/improving-your-recommendations-apps-ai-meta/

@Tutanota I wonder about all that "AI photo generation / manipulation" tools reportedly "comming to Whatsapp". I guess when people feed their photos to AI to manipulate ... they stay on Meta servers 4 ever? Got deleted? Some trustworthy 3rd party controll it happens? XD And if someone (like me) think "why the hell would anybody feed their photos to Meta AI" ... then I'am thinking of "clever" ways like "grant permission to whole galery" - great "now would u like Meta AI to improve contrast"? 🙄
@Tutanota there's no difference between read the conversation and read the conversation to offer stupid ads.

@oatrapado @Tutanota You're misreading this, I think.

Meta will read your “chats” with their chatbot, but not your personal chats with real people.

On another note, this proves what I'm saying to be true: Tuta is intentionally trying to create a US vs Europe duopoly.

They will retract misleading statements that essentially make Big Tech look not so bad (like this one), but not statements like “#GoEuropean” which are anti-digital sovereignty.

Akin to the woke agenda.

Other regions exist.

@ddnnacheta @Tutanota I'm not misreading, btw you called that doll, as "chatbot" , ir makes no sense as the doll is just "reading" (recording) conversations to push stupid ads.

@oatrapado @ddnnacheta @Tutanota I mean if someone is concerned with their privacy, letting anyone read the messages goes against it.

If its to train AI or to send messages. Isn't that reading anyways?

@krustykrab @ddnnacheta @Tutanota if don't answer i think it's just key/screenlogger, if it answer it is because, maybe, you wanted to chat.
Isn't it?

@krustykrab @oatrapado @Tutanota

If you want online privacy, don't use the internet. If you want free speech, don't talk to anyone.

That's what your statement sounds like. But you're using Mastodon, so something doesn't add up.
🖖

@ddnnacheta @krustykrab @Tutanota my statement is to stop forcing AI, i want privacy an for this we need to forbid cookies, we need clear language policies.
Unauthorize monopolies, forbid buy competitors....
Can't say more, world is not ready to hear hard opinions against rich.

@oatrapado @krustykrab @Tutanota
Oh, I see. It's a language barrier issue.
Yes, I agree with your clarified response. 👍

PS: I should hover over user profiles more often. Gives insight sometimes.

@ddnnacheta @krustykrab @Tutanota not barrier just a bit of sarcasm 😅
@Tutanota good distinction to make since they already read your private messages
@Tutanota This won't change that Meta is an unjust company who sticks to proprietary malware and spyware development.
@Tutanota
A distinction without a real difference, but the accuracy is appreciated
